too far away for a party house, and I'd be scared to get caught to be honest. It has houses that are inhabited right across the street (in fact when in this house I could hear some neighbors making noise and I damn near **** myself thinking it was someone coming into the house).

I'll post more pics later if any turned out decent!

and I'm going back this weekend with a group of people who are all photographers. Though sadly I don't want to give away where this place is =[

So I may not

Also I just found out from some google searches that in 2010 there was an estate sale to sell off most things in the home. I was wondering as I saw tables random in the house with random **** on them. I would assume that had I came before then this place would have looked far more badass

Honestly I'd be really curious to know how old some of the **** in there was. The dude that owned the house clearly had money, he was mayor/founder of the town. All those statues (especially one with the pig head) are awesome, I'd enjoy stealing some but it's against urban exploring code.

I typed that as more of a joke. It's a shame sarcasm doesn't translate well through text. Someone could buy that property for relatively cheap and fix it up without too much trouble. Just judging from some of your pictures the outside isn't too terrible and the inside seems relatively free of structural damage, just suffering from years of being neglected.

Theres a whole bunch of abandoned buildings about that are only about a 10 mimute drive from my house. They are all in the woods, some of them 4 stories tall. They are really old and have been abandoned for quite a while. Only problem is that they are fenced off and they have sensors set up that alert the cops when anyone trespasses. People still go in anyway. I wanna go but don't have the balls. Most of the buildings are from an old farm colony and some are from an abandonded mental hospital. Ill post some pics of it. You can actually google it. Google "Staten Island farm colony" or "staten island seaview hospital abandoned"

For its age, it's in great condition. Besides vines growing all over the outside (and some weathering damage) I only saw a couple signs of neglect (2 broken windows). The inside is beautiful still. I'm surprised homeless people haven't gone in there and torn the **** out of it.

I also found out last night that the dude that owned the house wasn't only mayor/founder of the town. He also ran for Governor of Florida in 1928, but lost. He is named as one of the most prominent figures in the rise of the florida Citrus economy. He and 5 family members are buried in the mausoleum by the house (I thought it was just him and his wife or so).

I want to find actual history on the house like when it was constructed and when it was last touched.

One creepy thing though was that when I went there and went to the front door. I opened it slowly and there were 2 trash bags sitting by the door filled with what looked like relatively recent trash (walmart brand crackers n ****) so I immediately thought their may be some squatters in here. But I saw no one. Odd

This. The boxes of repair stuff and not so vintage furniture should have clued you in that someone is fixing it up.

I REALLY highly doubt this. For many reasons. Number one, if someone was fixing it up the windows would probably be fixed. Also, the doors were still unlocked, not just one door but many doors. All no trespassing signs were so old they had fallen off the fence and were weathering away and getting hard to read. The grass in the back is so grown over you can't even get to the seperate "guest house" area without climbing through a ****ing jungle.

Also, I know many urban explorers that have been there in the past. I know of people who have gone earlier this year and far before then.

There was an estate sale in 2010, probably where the boxes came from. Wouldn't surprise me if someone came in there every so often to move things out, but why wouldn't they lock it up?

I'm going to look into as much info as I can about the house. Especially regarding to who owns it (whether it be the state, old family, or what). I didn't even notice any christmas wreaths on the door, must have not been paying attention
